Mr. H. F. Witherby on Birds 
Cyanecula suecica. 
The Bluethroat was common in the south and the north, 
but rare in the centre, of our route. 
Phylloscopus trochilus. 
The Willow-Wren was common and breeding throughout. 
We shot several for identification, and searched carefully for 
Fhylloscopus borealis , but could not discover it. A Willow- 
Wren's nest on the south shore of the Imandra contained six 
fresh eggs on July 8. 
Parus cinctus. 
The Lapp Tit was common throughout the forest-region 
and was the only Tit we obtained or identified. 
[Pleske records Parus borealis from near Kandalax 
(Lawrow) and from the Kola river, while Mr. Pearson 
records P. camtschatkensis from Petschenga. (Ibis, 1899, 
p. 525.)] 
Motacilla alba. 
A few pairs of White AFagtails were generally to be seen 
near every small Lapp settlement passed on our route. 
Motacilla viridis. 
The Grey-headed Wagtail was very common on many of 
the marshes in the centre of our route, but was absent in the 
south and north. 
Anthus pratensis. 
From the Imandra northward the Meadow-Pipit was 
very common in suitable localities. It was especially common 
on marshes near the Pulozero. 
Anthus cervinus. 
We found the Red-throated Pipit near Ekaterina on the 
north coast only. Although Mr. Pearson took eggs at 
Petschenga on June 22nd, we found eggs only slightly 
incubated at Ekaterina on August 4th, which points to the 
rearing of a second brood notwithstanding the lateness of 
the season. 
Anthus trivialis. 
Only one specimen of the Tree-Pipit was obtained. The
